Because Jay is home, I’m taking massive time off from work. Okay, not so massive, but it feels like a lot because I’ve strategically my chosen vacation days so I have several days off in a row with a minimum of vacation time used. I am cunning that way. I also don’t have that many vacation days (and even fewer sick days, but we won’t discuss that).
So. Time off. Joy. Happiness. A very light work schedule in July. Again, joy and happiness. Of course, the days I’m actually at work are chock-full of chaos and insanity and screaming children, but that does seem to make the time pass ever so much faster (which is also nice since my bestest wasting-work-time-discussing-life friend has abandoned me to go play cops and robbers). Of course, time off means… yeah, you know what it means. It means I don’t want to go back to work. Ever.
Sigh…
And yes, in case you were wondering, I still have insomnia. I am convinced that one of these days I’m simply going to fall down mid-stride and sleep for twelve hours. Hopefully I won’t break anything.
I somehow missed the Lambda Literary Awards announcement, so I was pleasantly surprised to read this in Tristan Taormino’s latest newsletter:
